I really enjoyed volunteering at the hostel, teaching yoga classes. The hostel is well run and the team is great and Mayo is a fantastic manager.

Hi loved my time at the hostel! Oaxaca is a beautiful city and the hostel is a great base to make friends with both the volunteers and the guests. Working the bar is lots of fun and reception was a chill place to practice Spanish. Would love to come back one day.

Tecuchi was the first hostel I've ever volunteered at and it was an incredible start to the future of my volunteering. Aside from a pathetic encounter with one of the long term staff, every day was another incredible day in Oaxaca. I absolutely plan on returning some day down the road.

The staff at the hostel is simply great. Everybody is incredibly nice and the volunteers have a pretty good amount of independence in their work experience. The bar is pretty simple, however, Bruce offers volunteers a good amount of control over the menu. For instance, I had full support for wanting to try to sell a new cocktail idea that I had. Or anytime I had an idea for an activity or what not it was listened to and usually supported. the hostel is a top tier hostel, the sense of community amongst volunteers, staff, and guests is unbelievable. Just bring earplugs if you sleep early.

Hands down the best volunteering I've been so far! It is chill and nice to work both reception and bar. I made good friends we were always helping each other making company. I styed a couple of weeks but wish I could have stayed more.
